Serving Lake County & the North Shore Suburbs
When a sewer emergency hits, time is everything. At No Xcuses Remodeling and Plumbing Contractors LLC, we’re ready to respond fast—with the right tools, experience, and respect for your home. Recently, we handled an emergency sewer line replacement after a customer’s original clay pipe system failed, causing severe backups and risking property damage.
🚨 The Problem: Collapsed Clay Sewer Line
The home had an original clay sewer line, a material commonly used in older homes throughout Libertyville, Evanston, and Highland Park. Over the years, the pipe had cracked and shifted, allowing roots to intrude and slow the flow. The result? A messy, dangerous basement backup.
Knowing how quickly these situations can escalate, our licensed team responded immediately.
✅ Our Emergency Response: SDR 26 PVC Upgrade
Here’s how we solved the problem quickly and professionally:
- Emergency Excavation
Our crew carefully excavated from the foundation to the city sewer connection at the curb, navigating around trees, sidewalks, and other buried utilities. - Complete Clay Pipe Removal
We removed all deteriorated clay piping to eliminate the risk of future collapse or intrusion. - Installation of SDR 26 PVC Sewer Line
We installed brand-new SDR 26 PVC pipe, a modern, code-compliant material known for its strength, longevity, and resistance to root intrusion. - Correct Slope & Watertight Connections
All pipework was laid with the correct slope for optimal drainage. Every joint was sealed to prevent future leaks and root infiltration. - Backfill & Surface Restoration Ready
After inspection, the trench was safely backfilled and prepared for final surface restoration (landscaping, concrete, etc.).
